HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,849?, dated May 26,1885.

Application tiled March l5, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDGAR W. ANTHONY, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk and State of Massachusetts, a citizen ofthe United States,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in HeatingStoves, ot' whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specificationin explaining its nature, in which- Fignre 1 is an elevation of a stovehaving my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, enlarged. Fig. 3 isa rear elevation of the upper' part oi' the stove; and Figs. 4 and 5 aredetail views, hereinafter referred to.

The invention is an improvement upon that described in my applicationfor Letters Patent filed May 7, 1883, and relates, especially, to anoven or magazine cover for heatingstovcs. In said application I havedescribed a cover which is made in two parts, separately pivoted to thetop plate of the stove, movable in relation to each other in such a waythat the movement of one compels the movement of thc other. In thisinvention I dis pense with the use of the connecting-gears, so that eachpart of the cover may be moved independently of the other, andconsequently` the entire opening may be exposed by the movement ot' bothparts, or a half only by the movement of one part. l

Referring to the drawings, A represents an oven in a heating-stove. a isthe top plate of the stove, which surrounds the upper portion of thestove outside the oven area or space. c is one sectionof the movablecover. a is the other section of the movable cover. They each have theextension a3, in which are formed the holes at, which iit the posts a?,(sce Fig. 6,) extending upward from the top plate of the stove, or thescrews c. (See Fig. Il.)

In order to hold the sections well when they are moved ott the topplate, it is desirable that quite a long bearing be given upon theposts. I have therefore shown the arms a3 in Fig. 6 made thick, toprovide this bearing. A plate, f, covers the arms, and is fastened bythe bolts as to the posts at, so that the covers are securely fastenedt0 the top plate. I prefer to make the sections of the cover domeshaped,as shown in the drawings, in order to obtain increased oven-space abovethe top plate of the stove, and also to form upon one the projection b,which extends over the other or over an opening formed therein, andwhich forms the base or support for an urn or linttile or plate, or anyother ornamental device which may be used.

To prevent the two sections of the oven from movinglaterally together Ihave formed upon the top plate, a, a stop, o, against which the twosections come in contact when closed.

It will be seen that as the two parts ot' the cover are not connectedwith each other, one or both may be moved into any desired posiA tion.lt will also be seen that by making the cover in this way, and notconnecting it, I get certain advantages of the cover described in mysaid application, in addition to the special advantages hereinl setforth.

It will be observed that the posts a5 are made integral with the topplate or rim of the stove-that is, they are cast with it-and theyfurnish bearings for the covers, the extensions ci* of which each have ahole large enough to contain or receive the post. Each post also has ahole, through which thegplate screw or bolt extends.

In lieu of the construction shown in Fig. 6, the posts ai may be eastwith the upper plate, ci, as represented in Fig. 5.

I am aware of Patent N o. 122,293, granted James NVager, dated December26, 1871, for improvement in heating stoves, which de scribes an ovencover made in one piece, adapted to be swung horizontally to uncover theoven-opening, and having two potholes, each of which has a separatecover pivoted to the main cover of the stove; but I consider that thesame does not embrace the essential features of my invention.

In the applic-ation filed May 7, 1883, Serial No. 94,233, I have shownand described an oven cover made in two parts,V and have broadly claimedthe same; and I therefore do not herein claim, broadly, the said doubleoven cover, but only, specifically, the construction above described.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim 'and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States- IOO l. The combination, in :iheating-stove, ofi the oyen A, the top plat-e, a, the two-part cover awhich entirely Covers the oven! opening when closed, eneh of which partsis independently pivoted to its post or support attached to the topplate of the stove, and the stop c, all Substmltinlly as and for thepurposes described.

2. In a heatingstove, the combination of the oven A, the top plate, a,having the posts 1o a5, and the cover-sections a a2, pivoted to saidposts and independently movable thereon, all Substantially as and forthe purposes described.
